Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Bleeding on Probing

The disappearance of bleeding upon probing with the University of North Carolina-15 mm (UNC-15) periodontal probe. It is done at the same time as probing the pocket depths. It is done at six sites per implant-presence of bleeding = 1, absence = 0 -at each site.

Time frame
2 and 4 weeks
2

Plaque Index of Silness and Loe

Score Description 0 No plaque 1 A thin film of plaque adhering to the free gingival margin and adjacent area of the implant; not visible to the naked eye but detectable by probe 2 Moderate accumulation of soft deposits visible to the naked eye within the gingival pocket and/or on the implant and gingival margin \| 3 Abundant soft matter within the gingival pocket and/or on the implant and gingival margin \|

Time frame
4 weeks

Secondary outcomes

1

Probing Pocket Depths (PPD)

The PPD will be recorded at baseline visit using the UNC-15 periodontal probe, at 2 weeks, and at 4 weeks. Pocket depths around implants should usually be around 1-4 mm. Pockets that are deeper than 4 mm or are 4 mm or less but with bleeding will be recorded as abnormal.

Time frame
4 weeks
